Child of Spring
When you put a small child into a pond they're shocked. At first they're not quite sure what to make of it, but with gentle guidance from family and those who love him, he explores, feels the water, wiggles his toes, runs his fingers across the surface.
Feels the water, the silkiness, the wetness, and the joy, and he splashes! The first water on his face is a surprise, but his eyes widen and he splashes again, until there are water drops flying all around, and he is laughing with the sheer joy of it.
Splashing in the water is something we grown ups take for granted, but when you see what a child learns like that, it really shows how easy it is to learn, and to take joy in that learning. A simple splash in a pond, and a child has learned how to make joy.
Five of Spring
Five shiny copper cups, overflowing into one another.
You wonder what will happen when it's all run away. You'll have no water! You'll thirst, and your fountain will be broken. Oh no!
You look again, and realise that it won't. The water from one cup will fill another, and when it reaches the bottom it will be pumped back to the top, and begin all over again. It's never going to run out. You have an endless supply.
Your thirst will always be quenched, and your fountain will continue to sparkle and splash for as long as you want it to.
The Moon
The moon is glorious in her sky.
When dogs become wolves and the moon is full, see the ancient way shine.
Trust in the universe, don't force it and let it lead you down the path.
